The Beatitudes and the Converse

The Beatitudes from First Corinthians Chapter 13 can be paraphrased thusly:


Love is patient and kind

Love does not envy, and it is not proud

Love does not boast, nor does it keep a record of wrongs

Love is not rude

Love always trusts, always hopes and never fails


In the converse, Satan is the opposite and the opposer of Love


Satan is impatient, unkind, envious and proud.

He is boastful and rude.

He keeps a long list of our failures and is not capable of forgiving.

He is suspicious. He knows he is ultimately doomed and will fail.

It is no wonder why he is known as the father of lies.
